Koala Bear Gifts

The koala, Phascolarctos cinereus, is an arboreal
herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. Although
the koala is not a bear, English-speaking settlers
from the late 18th century first called it koala
bear due to its similarity in appearance to bears.
The koala is found in coastal regions of eastern
and southern Australia, from Adelaide to the southern
part of Cape York Peninsula.
